Yo— I’m the match you struck when you lied to my face Now I’m the flame in the room, and you can’t escape Tried to put me in a box, I blew past the frame Now I burn every label that carries my name You want peace? I’m the storm before Tried to fix me, I just broke more I ain’t here for the “please” or the “thank you” speech I’m the wrong turn that you took off-leash Wired wrong but I feel just right Got a demon in the mirror that I still won’t fight Let it tear through the truth, let the guilt unfold Yeah, I’d rather be hated than be bought and sold [Chorus – Rihanna] Set the world on fire, let the ashes blow Tired of the rules, I don’t need to know Who I’m “supposed” to be, I already outgrew They don’t define me — I make it up as I go through Love you, hate you, it’s all the same flame But I’d still crash this car if it drove us insane [Verse 2 – Eminem] Look— If I had a halo, it melted quick Turned pain into bars, now I’m too damn sick You want calm? Go pray to a ghost I’m the version of me that I needed the most You want clean hands, but your soul’s still muddy You smiled like a friend, but your knife says “bloody” We dance in the dark ‘til the light fights back You want peace, but you’re scared of the cracks I ain’t perfect — I’m fire and flaws Breaking your rules like unwritten laws Yeah, I crash, yeah, I burn, yeah, I break that glass But at least I ain’t fake like your plastic past [Bridge – Rihanna] I’m not your cure, I’m not your cage I’m wildfire lips and a heart untamed I won’t kneel just to calm your storm I was born in the blaze, I am fire reborn [Final Chorus – Rihanna & Eminem] (Rihanna) Set the world on fire, let the ashes blow Tired of the rules, I don’t need to know (Eminem – layered in) Yeah, let it burn, let it bleed, let it break ‘Cause everything real comes after the quake (Rihanna) They don’t define me — I make it up as I go through Love you, hate you, it’s all the same flame But I’d still crash this car if it drove us insane [Outro – Rihanna, softly] So I’ll make it up… yeah, I’ll make it up… As I go by.
